The book gives a riveting account of healthy and unhealthy love, interdependence, and co\-dependency. The reader eventually discovers the fundamental foundations of an authentic, healthy and lasting relationship. This is the second edition of the book previously published with the title Lessons and Beliefs: Searching for Love in the Gay World (9780578147550).
